Alicon Castalloy reported Q4 FY26 revenue of Rs 495.4 crore, up 15% sequentially and 16% year-on-year, driven by strong domestic volume growth and aluminum price escalation. However, EBITDA declined 2% QoQ to Rs 46.2 crore due to higher input costs, alloy prices, and unfavorable product mix shifts. PAT jumped 141% QoQ to Rs 7.9 crore mainly due to lower tax expense, though it was down 16% YoY. For FY26, revenue grew 4% to Rs 1,784.5 crore while PAT fell 25% to Rs 34.4 crore due to an Rs 8 crore exceptional charge for labour code provisions and higher depreciation. The Board declared an interim dividend of Rs 2 per share (40%). Management cited margin pressure from aluminum price volatility, inflationary costs in logistics and freight, and geopolitical headwinds impacting international operations.
The stock may see mixed reaction—revenue growth is positive but declining margins and 25% PAT fall for FY26 could concern cost-sensitive investors. The dividend payout signals management confidence in financial health despite near-term profitability challenges.
